I love the way "Auntie" makes it sound more positive, there no mention of things looking grim at all -

Yes, I saw the Beeb's bulletin, more spin than Roxy's on a Friday night.

I have doubts that the UK has got out of recession.

I'm waiting for a reply from the ONS about a GDP question I sent them.

Out of recession, yes. And into depression by the sounds of things.

An ex-bank manager who now runs his own successful business (a recession-friendly one) told me he thinks we're still very much in it.

The BoE are propping up house prices - their excuse being houses are used as collateral for loans, I believe. I consider that to be as stupid as filling a swimming pool to float and retrieve a dropped silver-plated cigarette lighter.
